Licensed and multi-certified therapist Kathryn Wood joins Kristie and Felicia to demystify Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and intrusive thoughts. They break down what OCD actually is (and isn’t) and differentiate reality from pop psychology stereotypes.
Some takeaways:
- The difference between a fleeting thought and a persistent, intrusive thought
- Why typical “advice” can actually make OCD worse
- How OCD can manifest: from perfectionism to fears of causing harm
- Learning to sit with uncertainty as healing
